ANOTHER “NEW” TRUE VINTAGE FIND – BACK TO THE MID-SIXTIES AGAIN FOR A FORMAL FROCK

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA     This time it’s a formal gown – more like a mother-of-the-bride frock than for Prom, but who knows.  Some girls used to like the more conservative styles.

It has the hallmark Sixties neckline, metal zipper and custom-tailored details of a home-sewn garment.  The sheer butterfly sleeves that create an attached cape over the shoulders of the sleeveless gown are very pretty.  See the back view, where the tail ends tie at the waist.

The skirt is in two layers, with the sheer on top and adds to the float-factor when you walk.  Love the color, too.  Aqua is always a favorite of mine.

So, more and more fun!  I’ve got a couple more recent discoveries from the same era that I’ll show in the next few days and who knows what else is just around the corner . . . . . . . . ..

FABULOUS TRUE VINTAGE TANK BATHING SUIT - 1940'S - 1950'S

Like the last suit posted, this one has two layers. The way they used to do the little brief or shorts underneath was such a figure-enhancer for most women.

Almost like a tankini, but all in one piece. Look at those great design details, too. You won’t see that on modern suits, nor the exceptional construction.  Black & white makes another appearance for Spring and Summer, as always.

Just right for sitting beside the pool, under a big sun-hat, with a Mai-Tai . . . . . . . . .

IMG_0993IMG_0994Really pretty outfits, now that we’re definitely into Spring and flowers are coming up.  I have combined more modern vintage skirts with sheer true vintage 1950’s blouses.  The pink leather peep-toe slingback pumps are ’80’s or early ’90’s does ’40’s – Nina brand. (’90’s – I have a hard time calling that “vintage” , though some people do) since I love the old classics much more.  The slips are true vintage and the silk dress is authentic 1940’s or 1930’s, too.IMG_0995FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

TRUE VINTAGE SHEER SHIRT-DRESS FOR SPRING FROM THE 1950s

In the 1950s, this style of shirt-dress in a very sheer printed material was popular. I have found several of them here and there. Usually they were belted and, of course, would be worn over a slip. Imagine this one with a lovely true vintage nylon slip underneath (but not a fussy slip). and a covered buckle belt or tie belt. . . . . . . . . . .your skirt swaying in the breeze as you walk down main street on your shopping errands for the day. A pretty little ’50s bag and peep-toe slingbacks might be nice. Or, you can mix it up. I love a full-on vintage look, especially with dresses, but mixing decades is also fun. Vintage accessories with modern clothing really works for me sometimes. I find the mixing easy with casual looks. The great thing about many true vintage items is that their…
